[QUOTE="Canaan, post: 7810037, member: 566706"] Been a long time since I posted anything, so I thought I would just do I quick post of the DD512 box I built this evening. Its a pretty simple daily box for the customer. 2.3cuft net, 36hz, 15sq/cuft port [IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n151/southern1inla/2012%20boxes/photo.jpg[/IMG] Not much of the actual build, but here it is about half way thru. [IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n151/southern1inla/2012%20boxes/photo2.jpg[/IMG] The BEST way to glue carpet to a box. HFLP latex spray gun and WoodWeld contact cement. On of these Kobalt guns usually lasts me about 6-8months, then the WoodWeld pretty much kills it. I toss it in the trash and go buy another one. By that time the gun has FAR MORE THAN PAID FOR ITSELF. [IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n151/southern1inla/2012%20boxes/photo3.jpg[/IMG] Trimmed back the carpet to the corners, spray a nice coat of contact cement on both the box and carpet. [IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n151/southern1inla/2012%20boxes/photo4.jpg[/IMG] Overlap the carpet, cut, put the seam together. [IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n151/southern1inla/2012%20boxes/photo6.jpg[/IMG] Final seam on this end of the box. [IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n151/southern1inla/2012%20boxes/photo7.jpg[/IMG] Play where's waldo w/ the seams. Now...on to something I have not seen anyone post pics of. I don't just cut the carpet around the port. When I router my ports, I counter sink the bit into the wood a little to allow for a little lip. (I know others do this to, I just have not seen it posted here) [IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n151/southern1inla/2012%20boxes/photo8.jpg[/IMG] Paint some staples black.
